OKC National Memorial Talk & Tour, Thursday at 5:45 pm

Hans and Torrey Butzer, of Butzer Architects and Urbanism, designers of the Outdoor Symbolic Memorial at the Oklahoma City National Memorial, and Mark Bays of Oklahoma Forestry Services, one of the many caretakers of The Survivor Tree, will speak at center stage on the trade show floor about their experiences with the outdoor symbolic memorial from that fateful April day to the present, as the 21st Anniversary has passed and the museum has undergone renovation.  We will then travel to the Memorial, just a few short blocks away, where the Butzers and Mark will lead a tour of the grounds at dusk.
